Former USD third baseman Kris Bryant was named the winner of the Golden Spikes Award on Friday.

The award, given by USA Baseball, is the top honor in amateur baseball. It was announced at Dodger Stadium and broadcast on MLB.com.

Bryant capped his junior season at USD last spring by leading the nation in home runs (31), runs scored (80), walks (66), total bases (187) and slugging percentage (.820).

Bryant’s latest accolade caps a remarkable season. He won another national honor last month (the Dick Howser Trophy), was selected second in baseball’s amateur draft, then signed with the Chicago Cubs for a $6,708,400 bonus.

“My summer keeps getting better and better!” Bryant posted on Twitter. “It is a tremendous honor to win this award.”

Of the Golden Spikes Award, USD coach Rich Hill said: “That’s the Heisman Trophy of college baseball. He’s a great representative, not only of our program, but the University of San Diego and San Diego in general.”
